Just hold down the left mouse button on the slot you want to make a hotkey of and put them on a hotbar next to each other.

Lol sorry I should've had my coffee this morning before I read that thread and posted. Yeah I do this atm as well, I just read the post wrong. I took it as meaning at the time that a hotkey was created to click and the macro within that hotkey would swap out the item from the inventory slot and use it; then click it again to swap the item back. Like it would read something like this:
/move inventory slot 3 bag slot 2 to the equipment slot 8
/use equipment slot 8


Something like this. Haha sorry

ALWAYS TAUNT BEFORE BREAKING MEZ

Really? Ive always just used disease cloud to piss the mob off and break mez at the same time. Is taunting prior to doing that the better option?

That depends on a lot of variables. Usually that will work just fine. Sometimes it won't. Once you hit 39 and get shadow vortex, use that instead. Another thing you can do is use your pbaoe strength spell to build aggro while you're tanking other mobs.

I suggest taunting twice before breaking mez, some chanters build a lot of agro and disease cloud won't always top what the chanter did to piss it off

All this does is give you a higher chance of at least 1 successful taunt. If your first one is successful, you get the same agro whether you taunt once or ten times before breaking mez.

Just drop a shadow vortex or two on it while fighting another mob. When you finish with that mob run and feel free to immediately break Mrs by bashing the vortexed mob in the face ^^ Or break with DC if you fat and don't like the rush of combat ^^

taunt will place you 1 unit of aggro above the highest person on the aggro list.
disease cloud gives a set amount of (pretty large) aggro.

so yeah, it's better to taunt first. if you use disease cloud first and the enchanter has a good head of aggro from multiple mezzes and/or a slow, it might go straight for him anyway. not that taunt is particularly reliable, but you may as well use it.

shadow vortex and shroud of pain (and related spells) are very good aggro generators and don't damage the mob, so if you throw them onto mezzed mobs it also reduces the chances they'll head straight for the enchanter after mez is broken.

I also started a de sk even tough I have an ogre sk alrrady. I was wondering has anyone parsed to see the difference on Having 200 str and 255 str? As I understand this moves the avarege damage close to the max but hos much does it matter?

Another thing annoyed me playing ogre is that in 3d person view my ass is so big that wherever I click I taget myself instead of the mob I wanna attack. Any advice from ogre players?

Target nearest NPC hotkey for ogres.

[phacemeltar]

i think theres a command you can enter that will disable targeting yourself? or maybe thats on live...
